Quality
Quality is without doubt one of the most important factors that we consider when buying bikes, parts, accessories or clothing. As you’d imagine it’s especially important when buying Rear Shocks. Let’s take at a look at the sort of things you can look at when trying to ascertain the quality of DVO Suspension Jade Rear Shock.
The first thing is material. Looking at what DVO Suspension Jade Rear Shock is made of will give you a really good idea of the quality overall. Take a look at the specs above and you should be able to see the material. It’s then up to you to decide if it meets your expectation.
Similarly you’ll also want to spend some time looking at the features too. Again the table above, listing the features will give you a really good overview. However you should think about the sort of features that you’d expect when buying new Rear Shocks. It’s worth writing a list of the “must-have” features so that you don’t end up compromising and missing some important features, or alternatively end up buying an unnecessarily high specced product.
There’s also a lot of merit in checking out the brand of the product and looking at the various brands that are selling Rear Shocks. Brands like DVO Suspension are of courses extremely well respected in the cycling community so you know you’re getting a fantastic product with them. But if you’re undecided on your product you should write up a list of brands that you’d be happy to buy. It’s a great way of filtering and narrowing down the number of products when you’re searching.
Next up you’ll want to think about the price and use that as a guide to set your expectations of the quality. If you’re buying the cheapest of the options in the Rear Shocks category you should probably expect it to not be of as good quality as the most expensive. It sounds obvious of course. But this is where you can get a bit clever and use your combination of features, specs, materials and other factors to work together to get a really good quality product at the best price. We often draw up a list of “must-haves” and use these as filters when shopping online so that you’re only seeing products that meet your criteria. You can then sort by Price>Low to get the best deals.
Comparing Prices
Price, as you would imagine, is the most popular reason for someone buying one product over another. It is the single most important factor in choosing the majority of products we buy. The same goes for Rear Shocks.
It’s at this stage of the buying process, when you’re looking at different options, that you should set a budget. Do some research to understand how much roughly you can expect to pay for the sort of level of product that you’re looking for. Then match that to your own personal circumstance and how much you can afford to spend. This will really help you in narrowing down the right product for you.

There are two different types of reviews, and we also recommend reading both.
1. Expert reviews – In the cycle industry there are loads of really reliable trusted resources for expert reviews. For example if you’re looking to buy a new bike, BikeRadar Bike Reviews are great.

- Description: DVO Suspension Jade Rear ShockBalance Is Everything¬†- The Jade Coil’s design mirrors the front fork delivering the perfect balance. The design of the hydraulic oil circuits make it dynamic through the entire range of compression and rebound.Small Bump Compliancy To A Whole New Level¬†- We use a bladder in our shocks instead of an IFP. An IFP (Internal Floating Piston) is commonly found in most shocks and is a piston with an o-ring used to separate the air from the oil in the reservoir body. When the shock is initially compressed, the IFP can cause a moment of stiction creating a notchy/sticky feel right off the top. With a bladder system that is completely eliminated and small bump sensitivity is enhanced. On the initial compression, the oil surrounds the bladder and compresses it – similar to squeezing a balloon. You therefore have a smooth and seamless transition from compression to rebound.Maximum Tunability – Minimal Effort¬†- The inner workings of the Jade are developed around being extremely tunable to fit any rider’s personal preferences. The loader assembly (compression circuits) can easily be removed from the reservoir body to access the shims. From there, you can adjust the shim stack to fit any rider’s style or course layout.Cool Under Fire¬†- The cooling fins on the housing of the shock keep heat to a minimum allowing it to perform at a cooler temperature even in the harshest conditions. The bigger diameter port keeps oil turbulence to a minimum, which is the key to consistent compression and rebound. We believe your shock should perform the same when leaving the starting gate, to crossing the finish line, and we made it happen.Features: External high and low-speed compression and rebound adjustments 14mm alloy shaft Forged CNC housing Reservoir with bladder vs traditional IFP Loader compression assembly can easily be removed to access shims Weight:¬†425g (damper only)Rear Shock Size / Compatible Spring Size: 215mm x 63mm / 2.5" 222mm x 68mm / 2.75" 241mm x 76mm / 3.0"Buy DVO Suspension Components from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World’s Largest Online Bike Store.
